Lord of the Silver Crow

At the other end of the distance, in the silent interrogation room.

On the chair on the side of the long table, a man who appeared to be in his 30s and 40s was looking at the opposite woman with a slight sluggishness.

Opposite him, a young lady in luxurious clothes and a veil was looking at him with a smile on her face.

The refreshing fragrance filled the room.

The dull-faced man responded to the woman's question line by line.

At this moment, the sound of knocking on the door rang.

Although the voice was abrupt, the man being interrogated showed no signs of lucidity, only the smile on the woman's face became thinner.

After glancing at the dull-faced man, she walked out of the interrogation room.

Outside the door, a masked man bowed his head respectfully:

"His Royal Highness, we have found the real Shane Castle, but we haven't found Madame Dogra's relic."

With the calm voice, the man stroked his chest with his hand and saluted the woman respectfully.

"I know."

There was no expression, the woman just nodded:

"Continue to investigate, and what about the whereabouts of the eagle ring?"

"I'm sorry, my lord, we haven't received any news about the eagle ring. We suspect that this is just the smoke released by the royal family..."

The man wearing the mask responded in a low voice, guilt in his voice.

"Okay, let's continue to check, until we find it."

The woman didn't have any critical sentences, but just said this indifferently. After watching the action of the other person bowing her head and stepping aside, she also left the door of the interrogation room along the corridor.

However, as she walked, she tugged at her silk gloves.

After the woman completely disappeared from the field of vision, the man wearing the mask sighed deeply, seemed to relax a little, and walked to the interrogation room with the door slightly open.

However, when he saw the scene inside the door clearly, he couldn't help but feel stunned.

Behind the long table, an almost non-human-shaped tree sculpture is almost embedded in the wall.

The general outline can still see the fuzzy outline of the human figure, but its body is almost completely transformed into a plant.

There were distinct segments of vines and branches that pierced his body, but there were no scars at the point where they pierced, as if they had been completely integrated into his body. Starting from the point where they were pierced, the surrounding The parts have all become like trees, if it is not in shape, it is like a real tree.

No, it is already.

It may not be before, but now and in the future, it will be.

Is this the ability of the "witch"?

Your Highness has grown to this level.

"Maybe, the throne can return to Alan's crown."

With a little awe, the man glanced at the tree eagle one last time before he walked out of the interrogation room.

"Compared to Catcia, Alan is more qualified to be the owner of this land..."

While whispering, the man gradually moved away.

The man did not notice that the moment he walked out of the door, the arm of the humanoid tree sculpture trembled slightly.

......

Red Rose City, the stronghold of the thorn tree.

"Priest Jacqueline, I will put the information here first."

As the female voice sounded, a slightly restrained girl bowed slightly, turned around and walked out of the oncoming lady.

A young woman in a maid costume.

Jacqueline.

She didn't respond, just smiled and walked back to her "work" position.

Intelligence, the collation and analysis of piles of intelligence.

Of course, as a priest, she doesn't need to deal with small matters personally.

However, there are not so many people now.

The young man sitting in another position watched this scene happen without saying even a word.

Although no corpse was found, the disappearance of Priest Friesen is a no-brainer.

Such things are not alone.

This type of situation occurs everywhere.

Not to mention the distance, a little closer, on the southwest side of Di Lud City, a few Beyonders disappeared in the thorn tree inexplicably.

Since a year ago.

He didn't know what happened.

Even if he regained his status as Di Lude's thorn tree talker because of this incident, he was not happy.

Fortunately, just half a month ago, Ms. Jacqueline came.

An extraordinary person who has worked with Brother Friesen and also has mid-level strength.

Although she is not a member of one of the several big families in Red Rose City, judging from the current pattern of influence in Red Rose City, it is better not to be a member of one of the big families.

After all, several families are about to fight.

"Cliff, how is the investigation about the Scarlet Order?"

The question that sounded suddenly caused Collefer to stand up agitatedly:

"Your Excellency, members of the Scarlet Order have recently been revealed in the small town to the southwest."

"Southwest..."

Jacqueline repeated the retelling, while wandering around on the map on the table:

"Where do you think they stayed before?"

This inquiry silenced Collier for a moment:

"Talklandia."

This response made Jacqueline nodded:

"Don't act rashly, then investigate."

"Yes."

Clifford nodded in response, but he seemed to remember something again, and took a piece of paper from the pile of paper on his desk:

"About the Scarlet Order, there is an unconfirmed piece of information here."

He passed the information to Jacqueline's hands.

And Jacqueline just stood at the table, her beautiful eyes quickly scanning the information above.

As if seeing some useful news, Jacqueline's eyes brightened a bit, and then she asked quickly and directly:

"How was this information obtained?"

The corner of Collier's mouth twitched slightly, showing a bitter smile with awkwardness:

"It is the information provided by a newcomer who has just joined in Di Lude City."

"This newcomer claims to have encountered this situation many times. After surviving several dangers, our team members noticed the problem of strength."

"Strength??" the young woman asked subconsciously.

"Is there more frequent rituals..."

While whispering, she narrowed her eyes slightly:

"Cliff, go to find out that Di Lud City already has information on other Scarlet Order rituals and see the distribution."

"Yes!"

Clifford nodded quickly, and ran out of the room under Jacqueline's gaze.

And when he left, Jacqueline's gaze fell on the paper in his hand once again, rubbing her white fingers on the paper.

As she rubbed, the paper seemed to become softer.

However, almost at the same time, she also saw the trance on paper, those things that were not clearly identifiable were losing strength. .
